ALPENA – Once again this year the Alpena FFA is holding its annual fruit and nut sale fundraiser to raise funds to support chapter activities. Chapter members will be selling quality fruit, nuts, and candies. Citrus fruit sold this year include Californian navels, red grapefruit, and clementines. A variety of mixed fruit boxes and gift boxes will be included in the

sale.

Gift boxes include a variety of fruits and this year a vegetable box will be offered.

This year, the chapter will also be offering cheesecakes. In addition to fruits, nuts and candies will be sold including holiday tins and refills of cashews, mixed nuts, and pistachios. Candies offered include different types of chocolates, gummy bears & worms, taffy, and a combination gift tray. A complete list of items offered this year and pricing can be found at the Alpena FFA Facebook page.

Many of these items make excellent holiday gifts and all proceeds from the fundraiser support local chapter activities. These activities include chapter meetings, community service events, travel and registration costs to leadership contests and state and national convention, and our awards banquet at the end of the school year. This fundraiser is the chapter's primary source of funds for the year.

Orders must be placed by Nov. 13. Orders can be placed by contacting current FFA members or calling or emailing advisor Melissa Smith (contact information below). Anticipated delivery of the fruit will be Dec.9.
